He's still off work after Christmas. He hasn't once got up with our 21mo in the morning to let me lay in

I'm 36+5 pregnant and struggle to sleep during the night as it is. I've tried to wake him and tell him to get up- he plays deaf. DS has taken to getting up way earlier lately. I can't nap during the day, I look after my 3 year old sister. Also, I've a low blood count so I feel weak and all fainty most mornings.

I've had a sit down talk with him that I need rest, he seemed to understand. He offers sometimes to get up... but it's after I've been up with DS for over an hour already and it's an after thought.

I don't think IABU, maybe a little selfish, but not U?

I’m surprised someone hasn’t been on to suggest he is depressed. Seems nobody can ever be just a lazy shit anymore (on MN anyway)

Wow, that is so unbelievably selfish. My DH does all night feeds/wakes with our 1 year old because (in his words) I'm busy "making a person", despite the fact he has to get up at 6am for workand I'm only 18 weeks pregnant. Get all the examples off here of men being actual adult partners taking responsibility, and tell him about them all, referring to us all as your friends.
